In partnership with the Urban Sustainability Directors Network
<http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/0ba3f7f38e04626f4d72ebfc42add305?pa=6833867
279> , the Funders' Network is pleased to announce the formation of the
Local Sustainability Matching Fund. The Fund has been created with
leadership support from four Network members: the Kendeda Fund, the New York
Community Trust
<http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/bea6bde3d4ec6428d416dd0d77434d2a?pa=6833867
279> , the Summit Foundation
<http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/5c4f42db1b26861f99edbcc2ea273a1d?pa=6833867

<http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/ebb9ec51fe6840f0d894a20e7e3e2253?pa=6833867
279> . 

 

The purpose of the Local Sustainability Matching Fund
<http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainabili
ty-matching-fund>  is twofold: to catalyze partnerships between local
government sustainability directors and local, place-based foundations,
including community foundations, and to advance important community-based
sustainability initiatives. The Fund will provide partnership investments
between $25,000 and $75,000, with a 1:1 match required by one or more local
foundation. The Network anticipates that the Fund will support up to ten
partnership projects in the first year in two rounds in the spring and fall
of 2012. 

 

The application deadline for the first round is March 5th, and you may
download the Request for Proposals here
<http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainabili
ty-matching-fund> . Applications must be submitted in MS Word and use the
application Cover Sheet
<http://www.fundersnetwork.org/participate/green-building/local-sustainabili
ty-matching-fund> . The Network will host a conference call to provide more
information on the fund and review the selection criteria. The call will be
held on January 24th, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, and you may register for the
call by clicking here

A selection committee comprised of foundation representatives and urban
sustainability directors will make selection decisions on behalf of the
matching fund, and awards will be announced on May 5, 2012. For more
